Oliver Daniel Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Nice idea, but on the surface I think there’s better options now and most likely in the very near future. It will have to sport a remarkable picture to be competitive. Well done to Sigma though for getting their fingers into the camera side.

Once you buy and attach an external recorder it s not that small or (probably) cheap anymore. Yeah, there is a lot more detail in the Newsshooter piece but still some confusion. According to that, Sigma have said it records CinemaDNG to the Ninja Inferno. Now unless I've missed a firmware update to my Ninja Inferno, it doesn't actually support CinemaDNG so... With regard to recording to USB SSD it states it is supported for high speed recording but says its unclear whether it will do CinemaDNG If I had to guess, I'd say its far more likely to record CinemaDNG to the SSD but we'll have to wait and see. https://www.newsshooter.com/2019/07/11/sigma-fp-a-pocketable-full-frame-cine-stills-hybrid/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanveer Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I got this from the Newsshooter.com site, though they do not say where they got this information from, and I was unable to find it on the Sigma site, or anywhere else. https://www.newsshooter.com/2019/07/11/sigma-fp-a-pocketable-full-frame-cine-stills-hybrid/ "Sigma is quoting 12.5 stops of dynamic range for the fp when it is recording in CinemaDNG." If this is the case, I am wondering what sensor they are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 11, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2019 Now that's what I call a pocket cinema camera. Probably uses same BSI Sony sensor as the Nikon Z6 and Panasonic S1. The DNG I hope is to USB C SSD drive. Not going to be very ergonomic putting a big brick of a recorder on such a small pocket camera. Looks almost like an interchangeable lens Sony RX1 for stills... glorious. Knowing Sigma I am sure the price will be competitive. 4K ALL-I H.264 nice to see for internal recording. Any idea what bitrate? Sigma LOG? I see it has a Teal & Orange film style!! I love Sigma. Now let's hope RED don't claim patent dispute over Cinema DNG. webrunner5 and Eno 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted July 11, 2019 Super Members Share Posted July 11, 2019 Finally had time to read the article and luckily I don't have to pre-order anything until 2020 as I had planned. "This is NOT the Foveon camera that will come in 2020…this is a “regular” 24MP Bayer sensor L-mount camera scheduled to be released in autumn!" Big pass on the FP for me but it will be interesting to follow. DBounce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's obvious there will be dummy batteries available. Yeah, I was wrong with that assumption ! It uses Sigma's BP-51 battery which is the same as the Panasonic DMW-BLC12 used in the GH2,FZ1000 etc so there are plenty of dummy batteries available. 49 minutes ago, Andrew Reid said: I love Sigma.

If they don't do it over that then they probably will over the director's viewfinder function in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
currensheldon Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Just read this in the press release: "Note: The feature of playing CinemaDNG footages in-camera is to become available via firmware update scheduled at a later date." - so perhaps internal raw recording is coming? That would be sweet and truly a pocket cinema camera. As an L-Mount user who loves the S1, will probably get the S1H, I was really hoping for a small companion camera to take everywhere without having a different lens system. Even if just for that, Sigma has delivered. Throw on top of it all the cinema functions it seems they are packing into it, and I'm very excited. Battery life will be terrible though...

Big pass on the FP for me but it will be interesting to follow. It's practically an interchangeable lens Sony RX1 with 2019 specs. Quite amazing really. Going to be huge fun for stills, not just video. I say give it a go. Foveon has amazing film qualities and colour, but they really need to sort the low light out before I use a Foveon camera as my main one. currensheldon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trek of Joy Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Love the concept and its actually a pocket 4k camera, hopefully the image delivers. If its using the S1/Z6 sensor, should be high IQ. The electronic only shutter will be an issue on the stills side, but its a FF camera and its crazy small. Wonder if they can squeeze 4k60p out in a future update as well. L-mount just got a lot more interesting. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 11, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'm guessing they wouldn't have a Samsung T5 in this shot, unless it was used for Cinema DNG It's a cinema rig setup after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajay Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Initial specs do not interest me. For what I do, I need 60p 4k at a minimum. I will pass on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 11, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2019 Going to be a lot of fun with Leica M lenses. It also has peaking. For a lens manufacturer, Sigma are very brave showing non-Sigma lenses in their adverts Although that one might be a bit front heavy That's more like it. Got to love the animated GIF Cinemagraph mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBounce Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The HDR shooting mode seems interesting as it is enabled for video and stills. Something that imo is long overdue for hybrid cameras. I was hoping for a Foveon sensor based camera announcement, but I suppose that will come later. Strangely enough, with it’s diminutive dimensions, this camera appears to be the spiritual successor to the original BlackMagic pocket. Foveon version please Sigma! I want a sensor with a bit of magic source. Give me a usable 3200 iso ... even 1600 iso and I’ll figure out the rest. Also @Andrew Reid what does “Cinemagraph” mean in the second slide? I’d like to see a demonstration of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a video/gif where only a very small part of the image moves and the rest is perfectly static. It's popular for social media.

wolf33d Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 This thing is game changing. So my usage at this weight. For me personally I can see myself use it as a dedicated timelapse camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
